Greetings to all the newbies! :D
Leof whats that mean in your signature,Quote:

My name is Лев.
But лев in Russian can also be the opposite of the adjective right - правый (and its short form - прав).
Я прав means I am right.
But even when I am right I am "left", because of my name - Lev.
This silly play of words has only one underlieing meaning - I am wrong even when I am right.
There is another member on the forum who is also named Lev and he has a very similar signature. As far as I invented mine about seven years ago in my early student days, I desided to return it back on its place. It was my signature several monthes ago. Now I took the brass plague from the attic floor, polished it and nailed it back to its place.
:D
Ah yes i see now. But what of the first part, dazhe korda?
даже - dazhe = even
когда - kagda = when
Even when I am right I a'm left.
:)
Ah thanks for your patience Lev,or is that Prav ;)
Incidentally would that be the root of the name for the newspaper Pravda,meaning from the right?
Правда (pravda) means "truth", and yes, in Russian the root comes from "right".
Yes absolutely!
Praviy - right, pravda - the Truth have the same roots.
Правый - the one who is to the right, the right one, the truthfull.
Oh i find this fascinating! Would love to visit russia one day,meet up with my friend Eugene(Evgeny) in Siberia. He used to be a D J at radio boomerang!
Welcome, LarRry!

Okay, didn't know where to start, I didn't want to write in any "privet" topics, didn't even want to make mine (there are so many), so I guess I'll start with telling something about me. :)
My native language is Hungarian. =)
I can speak quite good in English (though I wish it to be on higher level), and I've started Russian a few months. I love it. :)
Hello peanhead! Nice to meet you!
Thank you, nice to meet you too. :) Browsing through the forum, I guess I'll try and learn Russian more and more, to understand the other half of the site too. :) And meanwhile I'll read what I can.
That's a really great site!
Know that you can get here the answer for any your question about Russian language. Even more, щнг can get the answer for any question in the silly questions topic.
That's great to hear that that site is great.
Looking forward to see you on the boards.
Mine is Russian (I wonder why somebody doubts it sometimes)
Может быть, тебе это неизвестно, но ты делаешь много ошибок... грамматических.Quote:
